Be it lnnnvn that 1, Banana H. Bonan- Nox, a citizen of the United States, residing at Daytona, Volusia county, Florida, have invented a certain new and useful Childs One-Button Romper; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which forms part of this specification.

This invention is a novel romper or overall for small children. Its object is to provide a romper which can be very quickly put on or removed from the child; will require but one button or fastener to secure it; will be very simple in construction, neat in appearance, economical in material required, and comfortable to the wearer.

1 will explain the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 garment.

l 2 is a back view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a section on line 33 1.

Fig, 4: is an enlarged detail section on line Fl Fig. 2.

The garment comprises a front section 1 and two rear sections 9 and 3 which are substantially similar but reversed.

The front section 1 has leg portions, 1, 1 and arm portions 1 1; these leg and arm portions may be of any desired length, but are preferably short,-

indicated. The front section also has a neck opening or notch 1.

The left-hand bach section 2 is provided with a. leg portion 2, and arm portion 2 The leg portion 2 is complemental to the adjacent leg portion 1 of section 1 and the arm portion 2 is complement-a1 to the ad jacent arm portion 1 of section 1.

Section 2 extends beyond the center line of the section 1, and has a. lapping portion 2 that is connected at bottom adjacent the crotch to the adjacent edge of the leg portion 1" of section 1 as shown at 2. and which extends upwardly and merges into a belt strap 2 the lapping portion 2 also extends from the belt strap 2 to the neck 2 as indicated in Fig. l and 2.

The section 2 may be sewed to section 1 by a shoulder seam 1, ,ide seam l and a is a front view of the complete and has a le portion 3 complemental to r the leg portion 1 of section 1; and an arm member 3 complement-a1 to the arm member 1 of section 1. It also has a lapping portion 3 and neck portion 3 which merge into the belt strap 3 Section 3 is united to section 1 by a shoulder seam 3 and side seams'wi-k/ hnd it is united at the crotch seam 1 to both the sections 1 and 2 as shown.

The depth or width of the crotch or recess between the opposite leg portions of the garment may be varied according to the Width and fullness it is desired the romper shall have at this point.

The belt or straps 2 and 3 are made of such length that when the garment is placed on the child the ends of these belts may be fastened together at the front as indicated in Fig. 1. The belt straps may be secured by a button 4 or other fastening of any suitable kind.

The belt strap 2 may be passed through an opening 3" in the romper to bring it outside the garment; such opening can be conyeniently made by leaving a slit in the scam 3 at the proper point.

It, will be seen that this garment provides a neat simple practical one-piece romper with a one-button fastening. The legs are securely united at the crotch, yet the romper is sufliciently roomy at the crotch to make it entirely free and comfortable to the child and does not encumber its movements.

-When upon the child the romper presents a very neat appearance; and the romper may be placed over other clothing to protect the latter. The romper does not interfere with the free movements of the child, nor bind it in any way, and at the crotch, which is usually the weakest point, it is strengthened by the overlapping of the portions of the sections 2 and 3, and the seam uniting these sections at the crotch reinforces and strengthens the romper at what is usually its weakest point. The overlap ping also precludes any possibility of a gaping apart at that section.

The romper can be readily put on or taken messes of? the child by the parent or nurse; yet is pleting the sleeves and legs, said back sec- 10 securely fastened when on the child by a, tions being provided With belt straps adaptsingle fastener. ed to extend around the Waist, and the back Vhat I claim is: sections overlapping each other a substan- 5 A romperhaving an integral front body tiel distance at the back and crotch, and a section havingsleeveportions and short leg line of stitching joining the overlapped back 15 portions, aback portion comprising two secsections and the front section at said orotph. tions each attached to the front section at the adjacent side and shoulder thereof and com- BERTHA EALLETT BOHANNON.
